358	IRQ pseudocode compiler	Jiri Svoboda		"IRQ pseudocode in drivers is typically written as a C initializer (array of structs with designated members). This is not very concise/elegant. What's worse, often we need to substitute constants into the code, which is done by patching the instructions at run time by hand.

It would be much more elegant to define a text-based language for expressing this symbolic instruction code. Thus the driver could express the pseudocode as a simple string literal that would be then converted to the binary form. The language could allow for named constants, which would make the code much more readable."	enhancement	new	major	0.5.0	helenos/unspecified	mainline
